Piping bag or spoon

Instructions

Slice the cucumbers into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch each. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent slipping.
Arrange the cucumber rounds in a single layer on a serving platter.
Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon of hummus onto the center of each cucumber round.
Top each round with a halved olive and a piece of cherry tomato.
Sprinkle finely chopped parsley and smoked paprika over all the rounds.
Drizzle with a light stream of extra virgin olive oil and season with a touch of salt and black pepper.
Serve immediately as a fresh appetizer or snack, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
